Why:   Suzanne Smith is a Marietta mom of 3 young boys. On June 26, 2011 after fighting off stomach problems for a few days, Suzanne went to the ER only to find out she had an overwhelming Strep A infection that compromised five organ systems and left her fighting for her life. After waking from a two week coma, Suzanne spent the next six weeks having multiple surgeries, building her strength back, healing and working on her wicked sense of humor! Due to the severity of her illness, Suzanne faced a double amputation below the knees and finger amputations on both hands. Suzanne is home and happy to be with her family. The quote “I don’t need easy, I just need possible” fits Suzanne perfectly!

Please help us raise money for Suzanne’s family to help ease the financial stress on the Smith family. Thank you to the participating vendors for donating a percentage of your sales to the Smith family!!! Donations to the Smith family will be very welcomed, but completely voluntary.
